Does anyone know why the Internet Access Icon gets the "no internet access" warning after bootup? I can browse the internet and hit all the servers on my network without any problem. After a few minutes the icon changes to connected. This issue is also sporadic it doesn't happen all the time. I appreciate any insight anyone has on this subject?

it does a dns check looking up some host (not sure which) and if it resolves then it says it has internet access. you could also be seeing it because of lag time getting to that host or while it resolves via ipv4 but not ipv6.

I have gotten that on a few occasions. As Richard Boy says it has to do with windows and resolving issues and also if your computers are behind a firewall or a proxy. I've notice that once i have no direct access to the internet that warning usually pops up. If i punch a whole in the proxy or firewall then the notification goes away.
